This is a bit random but outside of like 3 spots (one of them being Taco Bell) we don't have taco places around here. The one place isn't a chain or anything. They do some pretty good chicken tacos but the cost went up too much to eat there and justify it. I think this is down to inflation and that hot mess. I feel like unless you are down south, closer to the border, you miss out on authentic tacos. I love them when they are made right but I am not big on the Americanized versions of them.

My only beef (no pun intended) with California Mexican food is they don't mess with ground beef......I had to learn how to make my own ground beef tacos and enchiladas when I moved out here. When I lived in East Oakland (Fruitvale area), that was the spot cuz there were legendary taco trucks within walking distance of the house I was renting. I'd even settle for Taco Bueno at this point.

I live in Texas fortunately. We got taco trucks literally everywhere and if I need my fix I can just cook my own lol
I am jealous for real. I have a friend who moved down there with her family and she always sends me pictures of tacos and other Mexican meals she gets just to piss me off lol

    Here in Michigan they have 2 taco chains... Del Taco & Taco Bell (Toxic Hell). Now they do have a few sit down mexican places to eat and their tacos taste better than the 2 chains do. DO NOT buy from "The Taco Truck" because they have had problems with the health dept.

    Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

    I don't like their circus music, their box body women or their nasty food.
    I love tacos. Unfortunately since we no longer live in the US even part time, Screenshot_20200608-152301_Chrome.jpg there are no authentic taco trucks. We have to make our own.

    As for the "box body" , that isn't always the case.

    Man, if you don't get this goofy coon mess out of here...

    I'm a grown man. I am a proud Black man. But then again, you're probably one of those ignorant hip hop heads that only have the bedroom to contribute. I could be wrong, but I really think I got this one right.

    Harmattan,

    Only a certain type of guy responds as crudely you have.

    I went to arguably the best public university in the US.
    I bought three apartment buildings and two houses in San Francisco by 1990, have been married thirty years, my wife and I have raised three children to their mid and late twenties, I taught at a university for a time, had my own business since before getting married, made low/mid six figures before getting married, and have written eight books. I then bought a small farm in another country.

    I don't interact with people as you propose. Have a great day and goodbye.

    Sorry, but I have very little patience when a "Black" man is quick to post a picture of a Mariachi Monkey thinking that I am even interested in those nasty front-butted, funky women.

    You made a coon play and I voiced my opinion. No harm done...

    @TheHarmattan you’ve been warned. This behavior is unbecoming of a member of 6ZEROS. If you disagree, you must do so intellectually and not level ad hominem attacks against a fellow Sixer. @Rex Lawrence you are appreciated and know that you are welcomed.

    I am truly sorry for my outburst. The holiday season is weighing on me hard this year.

    Sorry to the whole board.

    I apologize, Rex, I am normally a jokey type. If I offended you, please accept my apology and we can move on from this.

    My apologies.

    Thanks. I'm grown, so can overlook things like this. It has been forgotten.
